He made one attempt to shoot himself but the gun did not fire. Grippin pulled back the slide on the gun and as he raised it, Officer Billie Harris fired one round from his rifle, striking him once in the right side.

Grippin placed the gun under his chin and shot himself in the head at the same time Harris fired. An autopsy determined that Grippin fired the fatal shot and would have survived the police wound.
